o form a brand new sound known as “Gengeton”. The man behind this new genre is Romantico who came to Kenya as Edgar Manuel Vargas Gallegos, a missionary representing Mexico. Learning Swahili and English during his first year in Kenya, enabled him to start mixing Spanish, Swahili and English lyrics over the new gengeton beats he started creating in collaboration with Producer Rukuz, who arrived in Nairobi as Hubert Ndayisaba, a child of Rwanda. A chance meeting between Romantico and Jason Dunford, renowned Kenyan Olympic swimmer, led to an invitation for Jason to feature on the song. Jason finds his voice and his stage name in this song, and is now known as “Samaki Mkuu” or “Auspicious Fish”. Mbaya - truly the next best thing to hit your speakers! “Mbaya” ni wimbo mpya unaounganisha Genge na Reggaeton, aina za muziki kutoka Afrika Mashariki na Amerika Kilatini, kuumba “Gengeton”. Hii ni sauti mpya inayoandaliwa na Romantico aliyewasili Kenya kutoka Mexico na jina la Edgar Manuel Vargas Gallegos kufanya kazi ya mishonari. Alijifunza Kiswahili na Kiingereza katika mwaka wake wa kwanza nchini, na kuanza kuandika mistari ya kufoka katika lugha zote tatu, na kuiweka juu ya ngoma za Gengeton, alizojenga na Rukuz, mtengenezaji muziki, aliyewasili Kenya akiitwa Hubert Ndayisaba, mtoto wa Rwanda. Romantico alibraikiwa kukutana na Jason Dunford, muogeleaji wa Olimpiki, na aliamua kumwalika kufoka katika wimbo huu. Dunford alitafuta na kupata sauti yake. Aidha jina lake la jukwaa liliibuka na sasa watu wanamwita “Samaki Mkuu”. Mbaya - wimbo wa kizazi chetu.
